The site has been overloaded for a couple of days due to heavy hits on files on the Indymedia UK takedown and the Bush bulge. A Slashdot attack added to that yesterday but has gone away. Today The Reg cited the Bush bulge file and the overload restarted. It'll pass shortly, maybe.

Most of the Boston Red Sox team look as if they have just come from a terrorist training camp for blind, handless barbers, decked-out in ill-fitting sports gear, staring wild-eyed at RPGs being fired at their heads and nuts, swinging clubs futilely at the inerrant missiles, their ass-wipe paws

James is wired to be unempathetic about victims, as was McVeigh, as are fearless military and criminal killers, as are national leaders of a yellow stripe who never taste the bitter end of their exculpatory spin. What makes the wire work is that they do not believe that what they do unto others

James, I appreciate your valiant if futile effort to defend honorable militarism, but you appear not to understand that much of current US military doctrine is aimed at terrorizing enemy forces, en masse, into submission, not merely courageously killing each combatant, mano a mano. Carpet

There were several USG offices in the Twin Towers, some of them intelligence. In addition, CIA was located in 7 WTC, along with Secret Service and military offices. The military offices were used as cover for the others. There was far more USG in WTC than in Murrah, and the lesson learned in OKC

Brooks on The Lehrer Report last night did indeed go berzerk in the face of Shield's superior defense of Kerry's reasonable approach. Brooks repeatedly agreed with Shield's analysis showing Bush/Cheney was dogmatic, inflexible and incapable of admitting error, then went on to defend their
